I am removing myself from any mailing lists or communities that deal with Warren Ellis

[docwebster]

Why, you might ask?

Because of this entry, wherein he states:

"“Cigarettes are my food,” said Frank Zappa. And then he died of testicular cancer. Which came as no surprise to anyone who’d heard him wanking in recording studios for thirty years, but still. Anyone who names his kid Moon Unit is plainly asking for his balls to rot off. Because there is such a thing as karma. Welcome to the concept of universal payback."

Fuck off, Warren.

So he made one comment, while riled and angry about something personally, (also coming off his mother passing away (from cancer keep in mind here)) so you're just gonna drop everything?

Yah. That makes a lot of sense.

What an asinine asshole.

Said the man named after a rabbit hole. Sigh.

Dunno if he's noticed, but both Moon Unit and Dweezil have had the right, the option, and ten years past the death of the old man to change their names, and they haven't.

This is in the Vanessa Redgrave mode. Hate her politics, love her acting, and can separate the two. (I have way more of a problem with Orson Scott Card, myself.)

And this is also a perfect example, for me at least, of wanking about other's wanking. "There is such a thing as karma"? "Welcome to the concept of universal payback?" Oh, yeah, Infinity or Eternity or Lord Chaos and Master Order or whatever cosmic entity Ellis has co-opted from Neil Gaiman this month got cheesed at Zappa for the three syllables he chose for his daughter's name and gave him cancer. That's on a level with not washing the car to prevent it raining or wearing a favorite unwashed sweatshirt to ensure your team wins the big game. Frankly, I think Galactus has more important things to do.

*nods* I do understand the "last straw" moments-- I have them myself. Online persona or not, it comes down to you deciding what you want to read, and if that's not what you want to read, then there's no reason to clutter up your daily reading time with it.

Zappa died of prostate cancer, so his jokes doesn't even work. Leave that as a comment to make him look stupid, and then let it go and enjoy your Transmetropolitan tpbs.

I'd rather be called Dweezil than Spider.
